Issue ID: 10073
Summary: database monitor | slapd fails to start when "database
ldap" without suffix exists
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: 2.5.14
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needs_review
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: backends
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
As requested on the mailinglist, I am filing an issue for this behaviour:
Today setup the cn=Monitor backend, and after doing so, openldap failed to
start with:
backend_startup_one (type=monitor, suffix="cn=Monitor"): bi_db_open failed!
(-1)
The reason turned out to be: we had configured one of our databases ("database
ldap") without a suffix.
After I added a suffix, openldap started, and cn=Monitor worked as expected.
It would be nice if this error message could become a little bit more specific.
:-)
Also: we've had the "database ldap" without a suffix in production working for
many years. Perhaps cn=Monitor should be able to deal with that config as
well..?
